One of papers with Shi/Taylor is "Standardization of
Immunohistochemistry Based on Antigen Retrieval Technique for Routine
Formalin-fixed Tissue Sections" in Applied Immunohistochemistry 6(2):
89-96, 1998. I have the article. I also have the list of AR paper
references. If you like to receive it, I can send to you.

Maria, can you give chapter and verse for the Shi/Taylor and
Puchrler/Meloan papers? Most papers with Shi and Taylor among the
authors are about high temperature antigen retrieval (boiling water,
with pH optima for various antigens).
 
Holde Puchtler and Susan Meloan published many imortant papers about
staining ad histochemistry in the 1970s=1980s. Susan M was a histonetter
in the 1990s.
